2022 Renault Captur RS Line TCE 1.3L Petrol · FY22 VSP

This 2022 Renault Captur RS Line has recorded 48,105 miles, which is high for a vehicle of approximately four years old. This equates to an annual average of around 12,000 miles, suggesting heavy usage that typically accelerates wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components. The most recent MOT passed on 4 March 2026, but it highlighted significant concerns regarding the front braking system. The tester issued advisories for front brake discs that are worn, pitted, or scored, as well as front brake pads wearing thin. While these are not defects that caused a failed test, they indicate that a brake replacement is very likely overdue or imminent. Comparing this to the previous year's history, a pattern of high-mileage wear becomes evident. The MOT in March 2025 also passed with advisories, noting that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit on the inner edges. The vehicle covered over 12,000 miles between these two tests, confirming the high usage rate. The condition trend appears to be stable in terms of roadworthiness, as the car continues to pass tests, but the maintenance backlog is evident. The shift from tyre advisories last year to brake advisories this year suggests components are being used to their limit.
